Did similar today on x bike as in 3px, but done no training whatsoever first proper ride out since last winter - much less fit than last year. However got round ok, nothing to push with on road sections but bike handling not too bad - took some interesting lines but only fell off once.Originally Posted by Stagger
Been out on the cross bike three days running now... feeling a lot stronger than last year and even though I had not been out on it since 3 peaks cx last year, let alone off road and I haven't run in 6 months, I am still stronger and quicker than I was last year AND better bike handling skills... now how is that possible?????
self delusion?
You should have no problem whipping me this time after your abysmal performance last year.
Only did 45 or so yesterday - knackered today
Went for a bike ride with my mate phil ligget yesterday - 7:10ish for 93 miles and lots of hills (including winnats at 60 miles :-O)- average of 13mph (didn't stop the clock for wee and snack stop) so maybe a slightly higher moving average.
Had only intended to do the shorter one (60 miles) - so did some running hill reps wed - had a tight glute from that gave me a bit of knee pain (ITB like) on the right - then inner knee pain on the left (prob from over compensating) - mainly a bit poor on the preparation front - but chuffed now.
Same as you today AS, quads, knees and lower back all tender.
if you fancy a recovery ride/run come to the Keighley duathlon tonight. At Kildwick around corner from white lion. All welcome, its free. 7 mile bike time trial and then 2.5 mile fell. 7.00pm start. Pub after.
Though bike is on road you can use any kind, think I might be on fixed tonight.

Out on mtb for first time in a couple of week as I've been hammering the road bike a bit.... discovered that I've almost totally lost the ability to ride on greasy trails... sure it'll come back though.
did 30 miles round the dales in 1:40 yesterday and got soaked!!
made 3 fellrunners jump out of their skin who were running down the road towards Ribblehead ( doing the 3P's?) because as i get level with them a sheep ran out from the grass verge in front of me and i yelled out rather loud. bl**dy dozy thing nearly brought me off.
I should think so, yes, especially as I shall be bringing spare cleats this time, so something else will break!
Oh and you are therefore right on both counts...
